I am the next Dance Icon because where I'm from won't change how hard I work, how creative I am, and how captivating I can be on the stage.

I'm a self taught dancer. I am a freestyle hip hop & contemporary fusion type of dancer. I am big on expressions. I also pickup choreography really well.
Being in a Ciara music video would be like a dream come true. Ever since the age of 8 I've always wanted to dance. I'm a country girl from the middle of nowhere. So being in a Ciara music video would be such a huge inspiration to everyone back home as well.
If I win the 20,000 I will use that to further my education in dance at University of Houston. I want to get a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (Performing arts), Bachelor of Science degree (computer science) & eventually get my Masters. Unfortunately my family is struggling to keep me in school, my current college doesn't have a BFA program, and is merging the art program into a mass communication program. With that being my situation I will have to pursue other avenues to continue my education
